Very good but I couldn't find any visible cable for the charger to suit our phone's usb port.

That is cool as ****.
You could always get a micro to mini adapter (if that's what the i9003 uses, not clue, lol)

If another converter is used then it won't be the visible green charger. The whole purpose of having a visible charger is defeated. So I had asked whether we can get a similar one for our SGL also.

[Q] wireless charging connectors?

hello - seriously considering getting this phone to replace my Note II (luvs me some big screen). I cannot find this answer anywhere - does anyone know if this phone has the connector prongs for wireless charging receiver (QI/powermat)??
A million thanks!

I think there are online auction sites like amazon and ebay have wireless charging option. but I think you need to be careful as there are configuration that is needed for it to work.

Seconded - moving from wireless charging on my Note 2 is the only downside to my upgrade. Can anyone confirm if there ar the necessary prongs inside the case...?

OK, go ahead.
There might be a pullup resistor in the cable or plug molding, but it could be the wrong one. Or it could be missing. Or the CC wire could be improperly grounded. Or missing. Or some combo of the above.

Very informative! Could you tell was it the first street or the second?
On a more serious note: a high quality, spec compliant cable is less than $10 on Amazon. Why risk ruining the phone?

Because I am in Israel. Shipping is more money.
Anyway, I've already bought some cables from amazon, but since I have a bad one here I thought of fixing it. I am not going to risk ruining my phone over this - I hoping someone already done that and can just point me to how to do that.

Blu Pure XL Replaceable Parts? (USB Port)

Hello everyone, I've been looking for 2 days now on Parts for the Blu Pure XL (Gionee Elife E8) and I've came up with nothing...
I have a damaged USB Port and I know this cause I've tried every charger in my home and I've cracked it open to take a look and the prongs that connect it to the board are bent. If anyone could give me a source that sells Blu Pure XL parts that would be incredibly helpful!
Please reply URGENTLY.......

Just my thought, but aren't microUSB ports just... microUSB ports? It's not like the ports on different devices differs physically from others. You can use any microUSB cable on any phone with a microUSB port, can't you?
As for replacement parts, I'm not an expert on electronics (perhaps you're more knowledgeable than me), but can't you just swap in any new female microUSB port (or maybe even a USB Type C port, if you have the knowledge and if it fits)?
I'm not sure how the microUSB port is hooked up since I don't have the guts to open up my own Pure XL, but can't you unsolder/cut off your old port and solder in a new one (provided you have the knowledge)?

Possible Solution

MicroUSB ports are not just... MicroUSB ports, there are different types of pin variations (But all are 4 pins) to fit certain types of boards.
I never thought of actually replacing the USB Port. It might actually work, but I'm a little hesitant since I paid $350 for my phone.
Thank you for the reply back and I will try this. By the way, USB Type-C has 24 pins and a MicroUSB has 4; it's possible to use the USB-C, but Id only be able to charge my phone and it would take QC capability away from my phone. If anyone could direct me to the actual PCB Board with the USB and the Speakers for the Blu Pure XL that would be awesome! (Until then I guess this solution will have to do.)
Crude Solution, but works.
So what I did what get into my phone and remove the Non-Removable Battery, spliced an old microUSB cable and connected the Red & Black wires to the P+ & P- of the Lithium Ion Battery. Seems to charge the phone fast, bust remember to keep an eye on it and to not let it overheat... Here is a picture of the outcome: http://imgur.com/98Zolef

Having the same problem but for mine it seems like the metal connector on the outside protrudes whenever I plug a cable into the port... pretty loose by the looks of it.
Methinks I might see if BLU can fix it though.

did you contact BLU?
were they any help?
my phone will only charge if the plug is held at a specific angle.

They weren't able to fix it so they sent me a new Energy XL instead. Slightly inferior specs but battery is outstanding.
Also ported CM 12.1 rather easily to it. But yeah, you're either going to have to fix it yourself or get a replacement Energy XL (they might allow you to get a Pure XR as well, not sure.)

Not to dredge up a old thread; But I still need a charge board for my pure xl; I posted something months ago; and shelved the phone until recently; and I would love to find a source of parts for this.

Hate to bring up an old post but can anyone direct me to a "how to" on installing a new usb pcb? I've disassembled my phone and it seems the only solder point is the lower left hand portion.. I don't see any way of disconnecting otherwise. Ought I un-solder whatever it may be? or is there another method. Sorry btw.

I'll take some pics, but honestly if you cant tell the disconnection points (they are VERY obvious on this phone)
then maybe you should hand this repair off to someone more experienced...

no, speakers are part of the back panel, it does drive the speakers though, the just are not attached to the board (spring connections)

I haven't seen it anywhere; but maybe try taking it apart and checking to see if the spring connections are making good contact...

So what is that big round thing the two wires are going to? My soldering skills aren't the greatest, so I want to make sure I'm not totally screwed if that's not connected.

All these boards seem to be out of stock
All the replacement USB pcba boards seem to be out of stock. I tried to purchase a USB port to replace the USB with but it's really difficult. Anyone know of a place I could buy the USB pcba board that has them in stock?

Replacement PCBA with USB
I also see it sold out at both Better deals and Blu phone parts.
I am asking (Allview) support in Europe but I don't hold much hope. Anyone else found these anywhere?

I bought mine in AliExpress but I think is out of stock. I found it as" Gionee s8 loud speaker "and the PCB from bluphoneparts

Wireless Charging receiver on OnePlus 6

Hello everyone! Sorry for the dumb question, but I was wondering if it is possible to add a wireless charging receiver inside a OnePlus 6. There are some receivers on Amazon for Galaxy S3, S4 and S5, and I thought that it would have been cool to have one, just to play with the hardware.
I'm not talking about the receivers which have the cable with the Type C USB port, but the receivers that connect directly to the battery. Something we can build ourselves.
Could it be possible? What do you think?

I'd nearly say hold on for the 6t and save yourself the hassle. ?

Unluckly I have already bought the 6, and this is my first OP phone and i think it is just awesome.
Anyway I only wanted to do something cool and play with the hardware of my phone.

Yes, I use one. Works just fine. The only annoying part is having to unplug it when I need to connect to my PC. I wish they made one that plugs into the usb-c port but still allowed a USB-c to plug into the receiver. It would probably make the receiver plug too big.
Here is the one I use:

If you're talking about some kind of hardware hack, I can't imagine that there's room inside the case given how thin this phone is. Years ago, I tried doing something like that with my HTC One XL, which had a flexible plastic case and more room inside. I still couldn't make it work.

Wireless charging is awesome but i only like it because my phone has a micro usb.... now that i have ordered a oneplus with usb c i dont think i will miss it because wireless charging is slower and heats up the phone more.

You have two options, buy external wireless charging receiver that plugs into USB or do a hardware hack and put wireless receiver inside the phone. It's certainly possible as back cover is glass, but it's not trivial.
